Suggest Remedy For Bumps On Gums

I have a small bump on my gums just above my front tooth, up towards the inside of my lip. It first showed up about 6 months ago but was very small and only lasted a few weeks. It was not an open sore but rather a firm bubble-like bump. During this time I had a lot of stress and all of my teeth were hurting because I clench my teeth at night. The bump just showed up again a few weeks ago. It wasn't painful but it was annoying. Today, puss and blood came out of it. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
